With art, the enjoyment tends to come in the doing, rather than the end
result. We found that large brushes were much better than delicate ones for
small hands, and pots of paint, or powder paints were better than those neat
neat little tins of water colors. Sponges, and potatoes cut in half and
carved as stamps are fun too. Then there's cutting and sticking with
washing-up containers, cereal packets, scraps of material, kitchen roll inner
tubes, and so on..... Use edible glue.
My children used to paint out on the back lawn, in the garden. We used a
picnic table and a big old easel I bought at an auction.
On one memorable occasion, when the cousins visited and the adults were being
kept suitably entertained indoors, all the small children had a splendid art
session - painting first some delightful abstract masterpieces, then one
another, then the patio.
The patio never really recovered, but the lawn lived to sprout another day.

How many of us made the same yellow daffodil as the other 23 kids and were

The results looked really cool and it looked like LOTS of fun. Can I get that
